Review of Revolt of the Zombies (1936) by Julien E — 30 Dec 2011
Short oldies. Not much about zombie but more of love story. Fails terribly. During WW1 at the Franco-Austrian Frontier, an oriental priest (William Crowell) is capture and held life imprisonment because he have the power to turn men into zombie.
Roy D'Arcy kill him and steal the manuscript. George Cleveland the general suggest they must travel to Angkor, find the secret and destroy it. His daughter Dorothy Stone is also on board. Dean Jagger propose to her.
She accepts it but actually like Robert Noland. The truth is reveal and Dean accept the fact. He seems to find a lead to the secret and alone went to the temple. He follow a monk to a secret location and found a tablet carving.
But he is dismiss because he left to Angkor on his own. Dean do the experiment on his helper Teru Shimada and succeed. Roy finds him for the formula and Dean summon Teru to kill him. Robert and Dorothy are planning to escape but is too late.
Dean tell Dorothy if she go back to his embrace, he will not kill Robert. Dean don't wish to use the power to make Dorothy love him and free the spell. All the people under his spell awakens and destroy his lab.
The soldiers kill Dean.
